Abstract: Fusions reactors have to handle numerous specifications before being able to show viable commercial operation, one of which is to find a proper Plasma Facing Material (PFM) which can withstand the high heat loads of several tens of megawatts per square meters combined with the pulse operation of a tokamak and many other problematics (Brezinsek et al 2017 Nucl. Fusion 57 116041). Nowadays, only tungsten is considered as a PFM for high heat flux areas of a tokamak divertor. Tungsten has been selected due to its favorable physical properties, but tungsten has a major drawback: it is brittle under temperatures typically used for water-cooled plasma-facing components (PFC). Under these temperatures the damage threshold due to thermal fatigue induced by ELM is very low, which will dramatically reduce the life-time of the tungsten PFC. The ANSYS simulations and experiments with a millisecond pulsed laser demonstrate a strongly improved ability to withstand thermal fatigue by micro-structuring of the tungsten surface with the help of 150–240 μm diameter tungsten fibres
